We are delighted to announce that Green Chemistry’s Impact Factor* has risen to a new high of 6.8!

Walter Leitner, Chair of the Green Chemistry Editorial Board said of the news: “Once again, the impact factor for Green Chemistry has seen a significant increase, reaching an all-time high of 6.8. This is due to the excellent research of the community and the dedication of the authors to share their exciting results, the enormous efforts by the referees to ensure the highest quality, the distinguished profile of the journal and the tremendous and exceptionally professional job of the management office! Taking the impact factor as tool (not the goal) for a journal to measure the reception of its content by the community, I think we can all be proud of this development.”

We would like to thank all our authors, referees, readers and Editorial and Advisory Board  members for their help and support on the Journal.

Green Chemistry received a 5-year impact factor* of 6.056 in the 2010 Journal Citation Reports released by Thomson ISI this week.  This reveals steady growth in the impact of Green Chemistry over the last 5 years, reinforcing the importance and maturity of the Journal. 

Five years ago Green Chemistry had an impact factor of 3.255 and its 2010 impact factor of 5.472 demonstrates the Journal’s increasing quality, putting it in the top 20 of all multidisciplinary chemistry journals.

We would like to thank our Editorial and Advisory Board members and all of our authors and referees for their contributions; this support is vital to the continuing success of Green Chemistry.

The release of the 2010 impact factors also brought good news for RSC Publishing with a rise in the average impact factor across all journals and some great individual performances… read more here.

*A 5-year impact factor is the average number of times articles from a journal published in the past five years have been cited in the JCR year.  It is calculated by taking the number of citations in the JCR year to articles published in the preceding 5 years and dividing by the number of articles published in the previous 5 years.
